The first isolation of KPC-producing K. pneumoniae in Brazil was in 2005, rapidly disseminating to several hospitals in São Paulo State, as well as other States. The aim of this study is to evaluate the genetic diversity of KPC-producing K. pneumoniae isolates from several hospitals of São Paulo State to detect intra and inter-hospital clonal dissemination. Approximately 100 K. pneumoniae…
Klebsiella pneumoniae which produces extended-spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL) are frequent1y involved in nosocomial infections in intensive care units (ICUs) inc1uding neonatal ICUs (NICUs). ESBL confer resistance to all penicillins, broad-spectrum cephalosporins and aztreonam. CTX-M-2 is the most prevalent ESBL type in Brazil. Carbapenems are the treatment of choice for serious infections ca…
KPC-2 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae belonging to ST437 is considered predominant in Brazil. This ST has also been reported in the water of major rivers of Sao Paulo City, rivers Tiete and Pinheiros, demonstrating how these microorganisms can get out the hospital and come to the environment facilitating their spread. This leads to a concern about how the treatment and dumping of such eff…
Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBL) and KPC are often involved in health care associated infections (HAI). Plasmids responsible for producing these enzymes may carry genes responsable for resistance to aminoglycosides. Recently, a new mechanism for resistance to aminoglycosides was detected in Gram-negative bacteria, 16S rRNA methyltransferases, which c…
In 2005 a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing KPC was first isolated in Brazil, quickly spreading through various hospitals in the State of Sao Paulo, as well as other states. The objective of this study is to evaluate the genetic diversity of strains of K. pneumoniae KPC-producing isolates from various hospitals in the state of Sao Paulo to detect clonal spread within and between h…
